C33: Hart's Decision
“Myra, are you all right?”
Hart’s six-feet tall figure towered over Myra as he watched her rub her eyes. They were still red and puffy from her tremendous tears earlier. He observed her hurriedly folding a slip of paper that she was holding into a small square and stuffed it under the tablecloth. Fortunately, Hart didn’t notice her hasty actions.
“What are you doing here, Hart? How did you know I’m here?”
Hart helped her into a comfortable position on the sofa. His lips moved, charming as he normally was, but thinking of how he was with Waley earlier just made her feel disturbed. He wasn’t the person she was waiting for.
Things were complex between him and Waley. He couldn’t explain it in such a short time, but he cou

They spent the night together huddled in the blankets, under each other’s arms. She felt a lot better with Hart soothing her, and this time, she was ready for him to take her. Whatever he had previously with W didn’t matter anymore since now. She had agreed for them to resume their relationship.She cast aside the random thoughts of Jake and sought to fill her mind with their past encounters together in Bali. Had he never picked her up then, she would have never met such a great guy. She wouldn’t have ever spent the night with Hart or had those thrilling experiences. Hart was someone who bore his way deep inside her heart.Even if her heart wanted Jake, she had already let Hart inside, and she would only get guiltier if she let him go. She allowed Hart to take off her dress, slipping it slowly over her shoulders, before unclasping her bra.
Not Your Typical Love Story C35: Talk With Sister
“Myra! Where have you been? I was worried sick when the hospital called me and said you were missing!” Sierra’s concerned voice rang out as Myra entered the door of their apartment.It was the next morning after she and Hart had made out at the old mansion for the first time.“Ah, I didn’t see you there, Hart,” Sierra seemed surprised, as if she was expecting someone else. Myra’s hand tightened around Hart as she sent him the signal to disregard Sierra’s thoughtless words.Beside Sierra, Teos was looking dishevelled, giving Myra the message that they had just finished another hanky-panky session.“Hart, give me a moment.”Hart took his seat on the couch a
Not Your Typical Love Story C36: Waley's Disappearance
“Hart, can we talk?”They had just had a sumptuous dinner cooked by Sierra. Hart found that Myra’s mental condition was a lot better than the night before. He glanced at her soft eyes, pondering if everything could return to how it was before.If only he could hit the reboot button on the computer and they could return to those times in Bali, where it was just the two of them….No Jake. No Waley. Just the two of them, running….He had to do what he could to forget about Waley. No matter what happened between them, he had promised Myra first. His late mother had often taught him Chinese idioms, and one was, ‘a man’s word is equivalent to great treasure’. This was an idiom that existed for hundreds, if not thousands, of years, and his mother had hoped any promise from him would be absolute.What was between Waley and he had to be just an obsession. If she didn’t resemble Milla, then maybe he wou
Not Your Typical Love Story C37: Confrontation
“Myra?”A tinge of guilt occupied his heart as he recognised the perfect figure of his girlfriend as she sat gracefully at the sofa. She was wearing a peach dress and in her hands lay a magazine. It was probably the first time Hart had ever seen his girlfriend so engrossed in reading.She hadn’t heard him so he called her name a second time, louder this time. Myra almost jumped, amusing him.“Why didn’t you call me?” He gently placed a hand on her lap. Myra shivered at his touch.“You left your cell phone at home. I came to return it to you,” she spoke innocently.“Since you’re here, would you like to join me for an early lunch?”“Er, I… Am I bothering you?”“I’m not busy today. Come, let’s go,” He tugged on her hand, taking her out of the premises as he saw Mrs Hoo heading their way. Myra quickly replaced the magazine on the t
Not Your Typical Love Story C38: The Lawyer
“Hart!”Myra frantically attempted to separate the two, but they continued on fighting. Obviously, Hart had the lead, but Jake simply refused to admit defeat.“Stop it, both of you!” she shouted, but none of them listened. The two men had their fists on each other, unwilling to stop.She glanced around them as Yuna calmly combed her hair with her fingers, standing casually while observing her own mirror image with her selfie camera. Obviously, Yuna didn’t give a damn about Jake right now, in contrast to how rumours spoke of her to be very clingy to Jake. Probably fame could change a person, Myra reckoned.As they were in a secluded area on the thirteenth floor, the fight didn’t draw any commotion. For a CEO to be fighting with a man he worked with, furthermore over a woman, didn’t seem at all very gracious. Somehow, she needed to put an end to this, but what could she do? Shouting and attempting to pull them aside
Not Your Typical Love Story C39: Jake's Disappearance
Two weeks laterMyra sauntered past the corridors of her university, walking past the noisy crowds. As usual, Lionel didn’t bother to look at her and neither did his goons. It was like she had offended them, but there was just too much on her mind for her to bother about them.Time had passed so quickly since the fight between Hart and Jake, but fortunately, Hart’s job was not at stake. Instead, he told her that Jake had delegated Mrs Hoo to take over the collaboration, as if nothing had happened. Neither had he taken any action against Hart for his physical injuries.From that day onwards, Jake never appeared in the university ever again. While it was a relief for Myra, a question remained unanswered. Why was she feeling empty that Jake was no longer in contact with her? Even when Hart made love to her every night, an unsettled feeling lingered deep inside her.[No, stop it. Hart is who you need to be with.]She told herself calm
Not Your Typical Love Story C40: Three Years
To wake up again in a white-walled ‘prison’ was the worst thing to ever happen to Myra, for the second time. Rubbing her eyes, she surveyed the surroundings.There were white walls, but a second glance told her she wasn’t in the hospital. She searched her mind for what she remembered last. But all she recalled was falling down the stairs in her father’s mansion before she collapsed. She and Sierra had gone home for a bit to spend the night there, and in the morning, the accident happened.She touched her flat tummy and contemplated if her pregnancy was affected. If the fall had been so nasty, the life of her unborn child, despite still being a fetus, would be at stake. She crossed her fingers and prayed silently.A tap on the door ensued. She quickly answered for the person to come in.
Not Your Typical Love Story C41: The Forgotten Past
Myra sat silently watching her father in his paralysed state while a middle-aged maid patiently fed him his lunch. Hours had passed since Jake had spoken to her, but she was still unable to accept the fact that it was three years past.Her father had aged quickly, but at least, his face looked a lot more peaceful than before. She wondered what had happened during this time. Had he suffered? Was she a dutiful daughter?The more she tried to rack her brains, the more her mind appeared a total blank.“Myra?” Jake’s deep voice surprised her, waking her from her thoughts. The maid greeted him before resuming feeding the aged man.“Uh…”“Let’s go for a walk,” he ges
